Details
Description
We are based on one of the largest Angus studs in New Zealand and are situated on the beautiful Kaikoura coastline. We are located 35 minutes drive from Kaikoura, 1 hour from Hanmer Springs and 1.5 hours from Christchurch. Our farm is located right next to the Pacific Ocean where there is an abundance of marine life.
The majority of help we are after is maintenance around the Homestead including internal renovations, cleaning, gardening and grounds keeping.
Your accommodation would be a newly-built fully self-contained unit adjacent to the Homestead. Ideally we are looking for a couple or two friends to stay long term, 1 month +.
We will provide accommodation, power, wifi and groceries in exchange for a few hours work each day.
Helpers are welcome to stay in our luxury cabin - Matai Peak (when available), ride our horses and participate in other farming experiences in their free time.
